lines at 12th are Science, Commerce and Humanities/Arts. The further career usually

are found both in Government and Private Institutions. Students who choose to work
must ensure to continue the studies to improve the career. There are several colleges
and institutions those offer courses for working students that help in improving
the educational qualification. The students must be ready to balance the time for
the job and studies.

related courses, accept the admission from any of the disciple. For instance, a
